The easiest thing to do would probably be to convert the information to
to a loc format and load it into geoqo if you want to use it's GE
output.
The easiest way, probably, to do that is export the data into a CSV
format that looks like this:
38.75705, -120.52890, A name for the point
38.55778, -121.67105, A name for this other point
(the names can be anything).
Then use gpsbabel to convert them to a .loc file:
gpsbabel -i csv -f INPUT_FILE.csv -o geo -F OUTPUT_FILE.loc
Then you should be able to get geoqo to load them:
geoqo -i OUTPUT_FILE.loc
And finally plot the results:
geoqo -s any: -e for_google_earth.kml
